How to reset and run model with a command in process flow?

Hi FlexSim team,

What is the run model command in FlexSim in process flow?

I want to run the model without click in the "Run" model, I want to reset and run the model each 5 seconds for example.

Run Function in FlexSim.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.2

process flow run command

Process flows are part of the model so as soon as you reset it, your token will disappear meaning you get no further events.

Hi Jason,

Is there any other method that can be used to do something like this?

I need this reset and run periodically to update a global table that is connected to a database. But, this global table import/update is performed each "reset" defined by the system as is highlighted bellow:

Thank you,

Luis

You may get some ideas from the answer to this post.

If you want live data you could also consider just getting the information directly from the database rather than read from a global table.

Perhaps you can get something similar by emulating mouse clicks with tools like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoHotkey
